The book has become a standard work on performance art covering the period of 75-83 and belongs in every respectable library. NRC, 8 November 2006
Marina Abramovic: From my point of view, this publication is vital and necessary and I am somewhat shocked that there has not been such a publication until now. This book casts light on a historical period in contemporary art and places De Appel as a significant epicentre.
Priceless an unseen documentation of everything from 1984 until present offers an eyeful for anyone who has wondered about where and how the role of the curator and artist came to where it is today. With essays by figures such as Charles Esche, Hou Hanru and Gavin Jantjes it is surely a must for the reading list of todays contemporary art historian.
